“I read the news today, oh boy ...” (St Frances Xavier Edition)

With this edition, Nancy Pelosi illustrates her mastery of the Constitution, such as it is. Plus, a naked man on a horse, a Twitter war and a very, VERY, scary chart, all from the folks at Pajamas Media.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on planet Earth:

• This just in from the UN: "One state? Did we say ONE state? Honest, we meant to say two. Really!" (Yahoo! News)

• Your mama told you long ago, that everyone else jumping in a lake was no reason for you to follow. If only she could see what happens now. (LiveScience)

• When a two-year-old in South Carolina went missing, it was their faithful dog who came to the rescue, and protected his charge until the boy was found. (CBS News)

• Meanwhile, other little tykes have a different kind of luck, as the social media has made its mark on his life. That's right, meet Baby Hashtag! (Christian Science Monitor)

• 1967 was the year that the Supreme Court ruled Virginia's law against interracial marriage to be unconstitutional. Forty-five years later, it means that Bigfoot is off the hook! Best wishes to the happy couple, wherever (and whatever) they are. (Newsy)

And that's all the news that fits. As the week goes on, stay tuned, and stay in touch.
